Trammell Crow Residential, one of America’s premier multifamily real estate firms, is upping the ante on Houston’s burgeoning west side.

Construction is now underway on Alexan Enclave, a 354-unit development located at 13411 Briar Forest Drive. The project, which is immediately west of Eldridge Parkway, sits on a prime, approximately 6.25-acre site in the heart of the booming Energy Corridor business and residential district, just steps away from major employers, plus a dense variety of retail and dining options. The development is slated to open in spring 2014.

“We are excited to be growing the Alexan brand in Houston with upscale properties that provide a high level of fit and finish, preferred amenities and great access to work and leisure offerings,” said Scot Davis, Houston-based senior managing director for TCR’s Gulf Coast Division. “It’s an outstanding lifestyle for people who put a priority on location, quality and convenience and are not currently in the home buying market.”

Other TCR multifamily developments under construction around Greater Houston include Allusion West University, The Muse, Alexan Creekside and Alexan Heights.

The four-story Alexan Enclave will offer residents one- and two-bedroom floor plans ranging in size from 651 to 1,552 square feet. The traditional, exterior facade, which will incorporate both brick and stucco, is in keeping with the architecture of the surrounding neighborhoods, many of which are among the city’s most sought after addresses. Apartment homes will showcase 10-foot ceilings with eight-foot doors throughout, spa-like baths with tile floors, vinyl plank flooring in the living and dining areas, as well as chef kitchens featuring hardwood cabinetry with 42-inch upper kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, large under-mount sinks and stainless appliances, including large, double door refrigerators.

Residents will enjoy an array of onsite amenities, such as a state-of-the-art fitness center and a clubhouse equipped with a catering kitchen, gathering area and game room. Three resort-style courtyards will encompass space for outdoor recreation and two swimming pools. Complimentary wi-fi will be available in the clubhouse in addition to the courtyards. The pet-friendly community will also feature a fully fenced dog park and dog wash station.

A key element of Alexan Enclave is its proximity to Interstate 10 and Beltway 8, nearby Energy Corridor and Westchase District offices, shopping and dining destinations like CityCentre and Memorial City, plus popular recreation areas including George Bush and Terry Hershey parks, which offer miles of hiking and biking trails and access to Buffalo Bayou for kayaking.
